In March last9at a meeting of
citizens, a committee wasappointed
to take the preliminary steps to-
ward arranging for a celebration of
the coming Fourth of July. The
committee so appointed was. not
to be a permanent one, its duty
simply being tof canvas the town,
inquire as to the probable cost of
such a celebration and the amount
of money that could probably be
raised for the purpose. The Fourth
of July is fast approaching and un-
less some move is made at once,
will get here before the report OF
the committee. If we are to have
a celebration it is time to set the
ball in. motion, as great deal OF
work will have to be done. The
committee on preliminary action
has had over two months to work
i'm and should at once report. II
anything at all is to be done, the
intervening time is none too long
to make the proper arrangements
for a celebration that will be a
credit to the town and the means
of attracting visitors to take part
in the observance Of the day.

Postmaster Williams has re-
ceived notice from the second
assistant postmaster general that
the contractor on route 42,175,
from ketchum TO Dickey, has been
instructed to suspend service from
December LIST to April Both and in
crease the service to six times a
week during the remainder of the
year. This means that for five
months of the year there will be
no direct mail communication with
Ketchum and Custer county towns,
and letters will have to come and
60 a round about way before ar.
irving Mt their destination. If the
contract had been given to one OF
our local bidders the mail would
have been carried in accordance
with its terms, without any monkey
business at the expense of the in
terests of this community. The
department should be asked to con
tinue the service three times week
throughout the entire winter.

Our special correspondent says
The school house has been rented
to the proprietor of the saloon at
Gimlet for the purpose of opening
a store to meet the wants of this
vicinity.
What happened to the postoffice
that Mr.. J. Boggs was going to get
on East Fork? This place needs
one. But for the genial Mr.. Culp,
the teamster, we would not get mail
very regularly. He deserves the
thanks of the people here.
Mr.. Otis Benson will move his
family to Bellevue, where they will
make their home.

w. S. Duval, of the Pacific In
surance Union, was in town Thurs
day, examining the business por-
ton of Ketchum and fixing the
rate on the same for the guidance
of the various agents. He has
placed a rate of ten per cent on all
frame buildings on Main street and
2 So on fire proof brick buildings
and contents. Mr.. Duval says
that better attention is paid to pro-
lection against fire in ketchum
than at HALEY or Bellevue, where
the danger of a conhagration is
greatly increased by the mass OF
rubbish banked up in alleys and in
the rear of houses.

Charley All Wing, the good
natured celestial steward at the p
& /. mess house has been severely
tried of late by the depredations OF
a stray hog on the premies. On
Monday he started after the ami
NAL, with blood in his eye, and
run it down to the river bank. I'm
able to escape in any other way,
the hog plunged headlong into the
swift current of water and, after a
hard tussel, swan the stream and
gained the other side in safety. The
bias-eyed cook thought when he
saw the animal in the water its fate
was sealed and the only apprehen-
sion he felt was that he would fig
ure in a damage suit. He was con
siderably relieved when his tor
mentor showed right side up with
care on the opposite bank and
struck off for town.

Enjoy Life.

What truly beautiful world we
live in Nature gives us grandeur of
mountains, glens and oceans, and
thousands of means of enjoyment.
We can desire no better when in per-
feet health; but how often do the
majority ofpeople feel like giving it
up disheartened, discouraged and
worn out with disease, when there is
no occasion for this feeling, as every
sufferer can easily obtain satisfacte-
~ proof that GREENS AUGUST Flow
Err will make them free from disease,
rs when born. Dyspepsia and Liver
Complaint are the direct causes of
seventy-five per cent. of such mala-
dies as Billiousness, Indigestion,
Sick Headache, Costiveness, Nerv-
Gus Prostitution, Dizziness of the
Head, Palpitation of the Heart, and
other distressing symptoms. Three
doses of AUGUST FLOWER will prove
its wonderful effect. Sample bot
ties, 10 cents. Try it.

a liOOd Idea.

Fire Warden McMann makes an
excellent suggestion that will great.
ly add to the protection against
fire, if acted upon. His plan is to
have a ditch run on one side OF
Third street, and a flume two feet
i'm width built across Main street
from the Palace Hotel to the Me-
tropolitan corner. This hume can
be covered up and at one end a
gate affixed so that water can be
held in case of fire. The water can
be supplied from the irrigation
ditch and could he turned on in
full force in short time when
needed. The suggestion should be
acted upon.

some oversight this circular never

THE PRIDE OF IDAHO.
On last Monday evening the
Pride of Idaho mine was bonded
for $50. 900 to Joseph Pinkham and
Gen. ]. B. Winters. The mine is
owned by James w. Dawson, and
the work done on the property by
it's owner has developed the same
into a valuable piece of mining
property. During the past few
weeks the explorations made have
unearthed fine body Of ore, and
it's known extent is such as to
place the value far in excess OF the
amount for which it has been
bonded. 1t is generally understood
that the purpose Of the bond IS f G.
placing the property on the 81
Louis market, and the purchasers,
whoever they may be, will find
their capital we'll invested. The
